Creamy Cappuccino Mix

I love a good Cappuccino but I don’t like the ones you get at the grocery store in the little cans and I like even less, having to find a Starbucks and dishing out ridiculous amounts of money for something I can have at home.

Now you could always use a Cappuccino maker (I admit I have one and have used it maybe twice *shameful I know*), OR, you could make a quick mix that you can keep in your refrigerator and when the craving arises, just a teaspoonful or two in a mug with hot milk, a dash of cinnamon and TA-DA!

Creamy Cappuccino Mix

3/4 cup instant coffee
2 and a half cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of hot water
Beat everything with an electric mixer until it forms peaks, kinda like if you’re beating egg whites.

Pour into mason jars and refrigerate. To use, just put a teaspoon or two into a mug, add some hot milk and stir, sprinkle some cinnamon

Sandra, this looks great and like something I'd LOVE to try. Couple of questions though....what type of instant coffee do you use? I am a little bit of a coffee snob, and really appreciate good coffee and coffee drinks :) 2nd question is, how long does this last in the fridge? How much milk are you using for just a teaspoon or two of this mixture?

How are you doing? You, Curt and his "team", and the kiddos are in my prayers.
